it to the great abundance of shrimps, which
form the herring's principal food.
Meanwhile the American sardine canneries

fish have been little more abundant
towards the close, but not enough to offset
the famine that existed during the earlier
months.

declared that France now knew her strength,
and that she was ready and awaited revenge.
M. Coles, member of the Chamber of Depu-

showed that the army was now in position
to give France the revenge for whichlshe i'm
patiently waited. The speeches have ex-
cited serious comment.

effects of the speeches, and assert that no
Importance must be attached to them. They
blame the speakers. and say that the Ger

because Of the speeches, and they therefore

fed.
